This same discussion happens with every release though

this is because every release has taken longer than the one before it. this "release date anxiety" doesn't happen for games on consistent schedules.

it also happens because people like this game (myself included). speaking of which: if you ever find my whining annoying, just know that i've paid you more for blurring the walls than i paid firaxis for civ 6, a game i played for 1000 hours. so you got my $105 no matter what ($15 x 7 months)

i'm not frustrated. i dont think you're a bad dude or are being deceptive. i'm not asking for a refund.

i think development is slowing waaayyyy down and anyone who has followed games in this community can tell you, it's usually a bad sign. once updates slow down, they never speed back up. a lot of games (most games, actually, by a large margin!) are abandoned before they are finished. this game unfortunately shows the same signs.

so i'm posting here to discuss it with other fans of the game who have surely noticed and might be worried about it. f95 is a weird site because the devs post here, so sometimes whining about the development is misconstrued as "feedback" for the developer, but that's not what i'm doing here. i'm whining. that's all.

Even if your point is correct here, what's the purpose in pointing it out? Either Tori is going to finish the project or not, but being a pessimist isn't going to help anything. The best thing we can do (after signing up to be a supporter obviously) would be to enthusiastically anticipate the work being done and the updates to be released. Hopefully our excitement for this project will inspire Tori to continue working and keep the flame of passion alive, but just going on about "ooh, this is another sign that surely is predicting that this game will be abandoned soon!" isn't going to help anything. If you simply want to offer the constructive criticism that smaller more frequent updates might encourage more support from the community, then fair enough, but you just sound like that homeless guy on the street corner with the sign that reads "the end is near!"

Keep up the good work Tori and I'm looking forward to the coming update!

Mate, I'm gonna be 100% real with you.

First off, Tori is not like the bad devs out there that you allude to, who just leave a dev post (at most) once a month, not engage with their game community/supporters, and would take 6 months to (more than) a year to post an update to their respective games. Hence I find your "whining" unfounded, unproductive, and down-right reprehensible. Thus, I am (respectfully) calling you out.



This is where it gets interesting. You claim to be a platinum patreon supporter and using that as your "ticket" for being annoying because it is a privilege that you have "paid" for.

Forgive me, but I am very skeptical that you are a true patreon supporter. If you were, you would have access to the discord channel for platinum supporters, and would have gotten all the updates regarding the upcoming release via patreon and discord.

Heck, why not chat with Tori directly in patreon or discord if you were a real supporter that you claim to be. Why post here in F95 (I just noticed, your F95 account was created after the 0.5.2 update release. Interesting)?

Unless you are not who you claimed to be... and your are simply a broke bottom-feeder getting so frustrated that the game update has not yet been posted.



Again, giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are indeed a patreon supporter. I suggest you remove all your patreon subscriptions and delete your patreon account (if it ever existed).

It is clear that patreon is not for you because you don't have enough brain cells to understand (your stupidity warrants my rudeness here) that patreon is not a game distribution service where you can get a copy of a completed game and get occasional updates.

If that is your mentality, stick to Steam or other game distribution services out there.

Good day hangmansjoke

Yeah, I'm not sure telling someone to stop being a patron to a dev because he complained about update schedules is a good idea.

I'm inclined to agree with hangmansjoke here. There's nothing wrong with discussing the release schedule and whether it's reasonable or not or complaining about it. He's right that the relationship with the devs are blurred (THE WALLS ARE BLURRING) on this site because many of them interact with our posts directly. I don't see a problem venting about a game you like because it's taking a long time, I don't really find it to be worthwhile to post generally but I get commiserating with fellow fans over long dev times. It's similar to complaining with your coworkers over a beer or something about the management, sometimes you gotta vent.

I'm guessing that most devs would rather having a paying customer complaining about release schedules than someone who doesn't pay ever gushing over the game. And it's not our responsibility to make sure people are excited for the game, although it is to our mutual benefit generally.

Anyway, I'll continue to support this game and the dev because it's probably my favorite thing on this site. I'd prefer Tori takes the time to put out a release he is fully satisfied with especially at this crucial point in the story.

can someone share dev diary #7

Ayumi is getting comfy in the taxi, and MC is getting... well, let's just say he's enjoying the ride. Who needs a scenic route when you've got a teasing girlfriend and a strategically-placed toga?

Don't worry, the taxi driver is totally oblivious... or is he?

The second image is a Plat exclusive CG, will never show up like that in the VN (for obvious reasons).

For those that are not into THAT

don't worry, it's not really about that, just Ayumi being a teasing goof-ball.

can't wait to play this update looks like we will get a heela super teasy ayumi.....also the dev never shares the juicy part in the dev dairy which is important (like the movie trailers which spoils everything) looking forward to buy it when it comes out.

Huh, the MC looks pretty different from usual in that second promo image. He looks like he hit the gym and got a dick enlargement surgery (it is like 2 times bigger) between updates. Good on him.

It is obviously just ai being inconsistent but it would be pretty funny to just use this new look for him without any explanations.

That's not the MC. It's the MC's friend.

the dev switched AI models. the image also looks higher res. i hope it doesn't change the look of the game too much, the old art was very charming.

That's unfortunate, can you develop a bit more?

I'm planning a couple of small changes already to make the 2 routes flow better, but I hope that the next update feels better for you.

Sry didn't see :(

I just felt like it became a bit too complicated, i wasn't really hyped by the huge roman like orgy with new weird characters ^^. I feel it should focus more on the MC discovering themselves mainly with each others or some complete strangers.
Keep it simple form my point of view. That being said i'll keep playing (absolutly love the girlfriend artwork)... well if you update :p sure as sure !
